For those of you who regularly read my tips, you’ll notice a common theme I share: slow down and relax! There are far too many sites for anyone with real responsibilities in life to keep up with and the pressure continues to mount as new sites pop up.

I value online visibility as much as the next person, but I also value free time. Here is a tip that will increase your visibility online without having to add more hours to your schedule.

TwitterFeed is a site that allows you to import your blog posts, or any RSS feed, into your Twitter stream. Through a simple set up, you can automate the process to bring high quality content to your Twitter stream. Because Twitter can be connected to so many other social networking sites like Facebook or FriendFeed, it doubles as updates to all those sites too. Save yourself time and boost your credibility with these simple steps:

1. Go to www.TwitterFeed.com and open an account.

You will need to create something called an OpenID which is a secure way of logging in to TwitterFeed. This will probably be the most complicated part of the process, but the instructions are very clear. You’ll need to verify your OpenID through an email link, so get this part done before you continue.

2. Once you’ve established your TwitterFeed account, go in and click “Go to My Twitter Feeds or Create a New One”.

When you click on Create new feed, select Twitter from the drop-down menu.

3. Enter your Twitter username and password.

For example, my Twitter name is NancyMarmolejo, so that is what I enter. It’s the name that shows up next to your picture on your Twitter stream.

4. Enter your blog’s RSS feed.

If you don’t have one, go to www.Feedburner.com and follow the instructions to get one.

5. Select how frequently you want it to search for new posts.

You also need to decide whether you want it to have a short statement before each post, for example “New blog post:”

6. After you get yourself set up, start importing the RSS feeds of other blogs you love.

Pick content that supports your credibility as an expert. For instance, let’s say you like my blog and want to share those posts with others. You’d put my RSS feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/VivaVisibilityBlog into your TwitterFeed.

7. Look at ways you can use TwitterFeed to create community, support clients, and continue as a top name in your field.

I like to import feeds that have to do with social media, good business advice, trends, and time management. Find the right balance for you!

TwitterFeed is a great way to add content to your social networking pages… without adding any time to your busy schedule. Give it a try and watch how easy it is to stay visible!
